What is the best way to get from Tampa International Airport to St. Pete Beach?

How we source facts

St. Pete Beach is on the barrier islands of the Gulf coast, south-west of Tampa. From Tampa International Airport (TPA) it is about 30 miles by road, a short enough run that the wait for a ride is the part that costs time.

Most people arriving here are tired and carrying luggage, and the choice is an app, a taxi line or a car booked ahead. A booked car is one captain and one fare agreed before it moves, waiting inside the terminal when you land, with nothing to find at a kerb.

Give the desk your flight number and the pickup is tracked from the aircraft, so a late arrival moves the pickup instead of cancelling it. Give the exact address in St. Pete Beach so the captain is sent to the right door, and book the return together if you are flying home from the same airport.

An Executive Sedan holds 2; a Luxury SUV holds 5; an Executive Sprinter holds 12. Say how many cases when you book and the class of car is the one that turns up.

The fare beside this page is for 30 miles, with the 20% service charge already in it. The fare for your trip is set when the exact addresses are routed, and you see it before you book.
